After some time as a computer analyst for a major security system and
at one of Pennsylvania's largest facilities for the mentally and
behaviorally impaired, Charles Casey, a self-disciplined artist with
no formal training other than his own life experiences, gave up his
career due to illness and began devoting his time entirely to
painting.

"I perceive the fish as a symbol of life and a vision of birth," he
writes. "This particular work was done with oil and fluorescent
paint. It is 'visually radioactive.' Just as we become alive or
perceive life from the inside out, so must we be valued from the
inside out."
